今天 我们仍在 修补80年代的遗留问题 We are still picking up the piecesof the'80s today.
为什么？ Why
因为他们的反应不是 为了帮助有困难的人 Because the responses were not designed to help the people that were in trouble.
只要说“不” Just say, "No."
没有什么区别 It doesn't make any difference.
不管是他们自己运毒 Whether they delivered the kilo themselves
还是别人贩运 他们置若罔闻 or they turned their heads while somebody else delivered it,
他们都一样有罪 they're just as guilty.
霹雳可卡因时代 改变了黑人社群的一切 The crack era changed everything about the Black community,
最终也改变了美国的一切 and it changed, eventually, everything about America.

80年代 你开始看到金钱流动 In the '80s, you began seeing money flow.
我总是想到《华尔街》 I always think about Wall Street
还有迈克尔道格拉斯扮演的戈登盖柯 and Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas.
贪婪 因为没有更好的字眼 是好事 Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.
第一章 贪婪是好事
那是城市回归的开始 It's the beginning of the return of the city.
你有种乐观的感觉 You have that sense of optimism.
夜总会里又宾客盈门了 Clubs are filling up again.
那是一种欢天喜地的生活方式 It was a lifestyle of celebration,
可卡因是那种生活方式的一部分 and coke was part of that lifestyle.
我第一次吸食可卡因… The first time that I did a line of cocaine...
我觉得… I felt like...
“哦 上帝啊！ "Oh, my God!
以前怎么不知道有这种东西？” Where has this stuff been"
它是时髦药品 人们每天纵情跳舞 It was the glitzy drug, people dancing all the time.

我喜欢可卡因 I love cocaine.
我迫不及待想大学毕业自己挣钱 I couldn't wait to finish college and make money
因为我想要那种生活 'cause I wanted that lifestyle.
电影《疤面煞星》把吸食可卡因 变成了时尚 The movie Scarface made it so popular to do cocaine.
我们会聚在夜总会 拿出百元大钞 We would be in the clubs and have our $100 bills
模仿《疤面煞星》里的做法 and try to imitateScarface.
那么做好像是很酷的 It was, like, a glamorous thing to do,
因为“有钱人都这么玩” 'cause it was, like, "People that get money do this."
当时 可卡因是奢侈品 Cocaine was a luxury back then.
开奔驰宝马的人 It was like, people that were driving Mercedes-Benzes
才能吸可卡因 or BMWs were the ones that were sniffing coke.
你知道 它并不… 那种粉末状可卡因 You know, that was not... That particular drug, powder cocaine,
内城有色人种是搞不到手的 was not accessible to inner-city people of color
因为太贵 because it was too expensive.
我们买不起 We couldn't afford it.
1982年
里根带来的是少数人致富 What comes with Reagan is the proliferation of wealth for a few
多数人成了牺牲品 at the expense of the many.
里根政府取消了 The Reagan administration takes
五十万人的社会福利 half a million people off the welfare rolls,
一百万人不再能领到食品券 one million people from food stamps,
260万美国儿童失去了福利午餐 2.6 million American children from lunch programs.
又有几百万人落入极度贫困 We see millions of more people coming into extreme poverty.
今天早上在就业服务处 人们排起长队 The line stretched around three sides of the block
整个街区的三面都是排队的人 at the state job service office this morning.
几乎850万美国人没有工作 Almost 8.5 million Americans are without jobs.
1982年是美国历史上 失业率最高的年份之一 1982 is one of the highest ratesof unemployment in the United States, ever.
而黑人失业率始终是白人的两倍 And then Black communities' unemployment, always twice that of the white community.
所以 人们非常愤怒 So, people were catching hell.
到处是碎玻璃 Broken glass everywhere
在台阶上撒尿 你知道他们不在乎 People pissin' on the stairs You know they just don't care
我受不了这气味 受不了这声音 I can't take the smell Can't take the noise
没钱搬出去 看来我没有选择 Got no money to move out I guess I got no choice

我自己都奇怪 我怎么还没破产 It makes me wonder How I keep from going under
有时这里就像丛林 It's like a jungle sometimes
我自己都奇怪 我怎么还没破产 It makes me wonder How I keep from going under
我在一个贫穷社区长大 I grew up in a very impoverished neighborhood.
那里的家庭一般都领食品券 The regular family there was on food stamps.
买吃的都不是用真钱 Wasn't even paying for food with real money.
用的是那种棕色 紫色的纸钱… It was paper money with, you know, brown, purple and...
如果你用你的钱买吃的 Looking likeyou're in a third-world country
看上去就像在第三世界国家一样 if you're going to spend your money for food.
我们没钱 We didn't have money,
所以我们这些小孩经常自己在家 so a lot of times, we were home ourselves, the kids.
所以我们会去街角店偷东西 So we'd go to the corner store and steal.
或者去超市帮人提购物袋挣点钱 Or we'd go to the Safeway to earn money by carrying people's groceries home.
有时候 我们帮人提着购物袋往回走 And sometimes we would walk with someone, carrying their groceries home,
然后就提着袋子跑了 we'd run off with the bags.
我们… 很多时候是为了生存 I mean, we... A lot of it was about survival.
有时候我只能穿我姐姐的牛仔裤 别人穿剩下的 Sometimes I had to wear my sister's jeans, hand-me-down jeans.
五年级的那张照片很典型 You know, it's this classic picture of me in the fifth grade.

家里有蟑螂和老鼠 You know, we had roaches in the house, mice.

我们会做任何事 采取任何办法 to escape the fact that we are broke and oppressed, we will do.
1982年到1984年间 Between 1982 and 1984,
进入美国的可卡因数量增长了50% the amount of cocaine coming into the United States increases by 50 %.
探员们知道可卡因被人用船运到费城 然后装卡车运到纽约 Agents know the cocaine was shippedto Philadelphia,then trucked to New York.
很多是经南佛罗里达州运来的 Tons came through South Florida.
毒品涌入这个国家 Drugs pouring into the country.
今天 市面上的可卡因 比历史任何时期都更多 There is more cocaine available today than almost any time in our history.
有63吨运进美国的可卡因 We get 63 tons of cocaine coming into the US.
可卡因大量涌入的后果 The consequence of this massive insurgence of cocaine
就是可卡因的价格降低了 is that the price of cocaine falls.
尽管我们尽了最大努力 Despite our best efforts,
但非法可卡因进入我国的速度 仍然惊人 illegal cocaine is coming into our country at alarming levels,
四到五百万人经常吸食 and four to five million people regularly use it.
一支古巴雪茄都不能进入美国 One Cuban cigar couldn't make it into the United States.
一支小小的古巴雪茄 One little Cuban cigar.
但你们不能阻止成吨的可卡因涌入？ But you can't stop these tons of cocaine from coming in
它影响的绝对不只是街头贫民 It was definitely bigger than just the streets.
今晚特别节目 关注毒品如何越境涌入美国 And tonight's special segment looks at the invasion of drugs across the border.
美国几乎没有动用多少资源予以抵制 And the United States has used very few resources to fight back.
是通过中美洲进入美国的 通过巴哈马 It was coming vis-à-vis Central America, vis-à-vis the Bahamas,
有多条路线 多种模式 and it was coming in multiple routes, multiple modes,
比如飞机、船等等 所以是从四面八方涌入 such as airplane, boats, etc., so it was coming in from all directions.
所有人都参与了 And everyone had a hand in it.
里查德普莱尔
随后 发生了爆炸性新闻 影响波及全国 Then this bomb explodes that will affect the whole country.
消防队急救人员 Fire department paramedics
发现作家兼喜剧演员里查德普莱尔 昨晚在洛杉矶自家附近游荡 found writerand comedian Richard Pryor wandering dazed, badly burned over the
神情恍惚 upper half of his body
上半身严重烧伤 near his Los Angeles-area home last night.
传出新闻 说里查德普莱尔 被烟具烧伤 This news report came in about RichardPryor getting burnt up with this pipe.
他吸食的是精炼可卡因 也就是可卡因和乙醚的混合物 He had used freebase, which is a combination of cocaine and ether.
他把它点燃 我们不知道是用香烟 还是别的 And when he ignited it, whether it was on a cigarette, we don't know,
引起乙醚爆炸 导致他的衣服起火 the ether exploded, causing his clothes to be engulfed in flames.
你们都拿我恶搞 Y'all did some nasty ass jokes on my ass.
“那是什么？” “里查德普莱尔街头狂奔” "What's that" "Richard Pryor running down the street."
我当时不知道精炼可卡因是什么 I didn't know what freebase was.
里查德普莱尔烧伤自己的事 And Richard Pryor burning himself up with it
给很多人提了醒 was kind of the wake-up call to a lot of people
吸食可卡因还有另一种方式 that there was this other kind of way of using cocaine.
可卡因是一种分子 Cocaine is a molecule.
叫盐酸古柯碱 It's called "cocaine hydrochloride."
其中的盐酸盐是一种盐 And the hydrochloride portion is a salt.
有那部分盐酸盐存在 你就不能吸食 And you can't smoke it if thathydrochloride portion is on,
所以你要除去盐 so you gotta get rid of the salt.
加热吸食精炼可卡因 就是为了除去里面的盐 So, with freebasing, we figured out how to just get rid of the salt,
你得到的就是精华 and now you just have the base.
所以我们叫它“精炼可卡因” So we call it "freebase."
精华被提炼出来 就可以吸了 The base is free and you can smoke it.
霹雳可卡因也是一样 Crack is the same thing.
多数人买回粉末 会自己炮制 Most people, when they buy the powder,they would cook it for themselves.
就像化学家一样 Almost like being a scientist.
你知道 要经过很多… You know, it took a lot of...
调配… mixing and...
称量 weighing.
我发现… What I figured out is that...
人们希望免去这种麻烦 people preferred not to go through all that process.
他们喜欢已经提炼成晶体的 They would prefer to have it already rocked up.
他们叫它“霹雳可卡因” And they call it "crack."
第二章 他们叫它霹雳可卡因
霹雳可卡因
可卡因蒸汽通过玻璃管吸入 直接作用于大脑 The inhaled cocaine vapor goes straight from the glass pipe stem to the brain.
更有效 It's more efficient,
毒品立即进入血液 the drug is put immediately into the bloodstream,
因为肺部有大量血液流过 because the lungs have a large area of blood,
所以立刻见效 so the effects are felt, like, immediately.
五到15秒 吸食者就高了 In five to 15 seconds, the crack user is high.
我可以站起来走上月球 I can get up from here now and walk to the moon, okay
我可以站起来走上月球 I can get up and walk to the moon.
我没问题 现在就能上去 I'm good now. I'm good to go.
制成霹雳可卡因以后 买五到十美元一份 Cocaine was made more availableby making crack
可卡因变得更容易到手了 and by being able to sell it for five or ten dollars a hit.
现在 穷人也能买到了 So, poor people now could get access
以前这还被认为是富人的毒品 to what previously had been considered a rich man's drug.
发展得非常快 转眼间 出现了20个吸食者 It happened really fast.It seemed like, "Boom. There's 20 crackheads."
只要吸一口 他们这辈子 The first hit they took, the rest of their life
都想再吸 they would be trying to get that hit again.
他们一次次吸食 They'd just keep going over and over,
希望找到第一次尝试的感觉… trying to get that same feeling they got the first time...
他们再也找不回来了 which they can never get back.
那种极度的快感加倍了 The level of euphoria was just multiplied.
几乎立即见效 The effect is almost simultaneous.
我的舌头都不管用了 因为 I'm tongue-twisted because there's no words
没有语言可以形容当时的感觉 to describe how I felt at that point.
它让我觉得如在云端 It made me feel like I was on top of the world.
好像是性高潮 It's like having an orgasm.
一旦你吸了第一口… Once you take that first hit...
就完了 it's over.
从那一刻起 我就上瘾了 一心只想吸毒 From that point on, I was addicted, and all I wanted to do was smoke.
一切都… Everything just go...
乒！ Bing!
我当时还在上高中 我需要挣更多钱 I was still in high school, and I needed to make some money.
我的小孩快要出生了 你知道 很困难 I was having a baby on the way and, you know, things were hard.
我妈妈说：“找个工作去” My mother was like, "Just get a job."
嘿 那不是凯文吗？ Hey. Isn't that Calvin
有段时间没看见他了 I haven't seen him for a while.
我听说他找到了一份工作 I heard he got a job.
我记得那段凯文的广告 他们说： Yeah, I remember that commercial that they had of Calvin and they said,
“你也可以像凯文那样” "Well, you could be like Calvin."
你这么一说 他好像的确是变了 Now that you mention it, there issomething different about him.
看来承担些责任对他有好处 Looks like responsibility's been good for him.
我很高兴 有人相信他 给了他机会 I'm just glad somebody believed in him enough to give him a chance.
不知道他在哪儿工作 Wonder where he's working.
欢迎光临麦当劳 您来点什么？ Welcome to McDonald's. May I help you
我记得看过那个广告 我心想： “我就在那儿打工” I remember seeing that commercial. I was like, "I worked there."
你一小时只挣3.35美元 You only made $3.35 an hour.
那是最低工资 每小时3.35美元 That was minimum wage, $3.35 an hour.
政府还抽税 And then the government's taking taxes out of that.
凯文去死吧 Man, fuck Calvin, man.
对我来说根本不解决问题 'Cause that ain't gonna work for me, you know
所以 我朋友来找我 说： “我有个办法可以挣更多钱” So, my man came to me and he said, "I got a way for you to make some money."
他给我看霹雳可卡因 And he introduced the crack to me.
小瓶子装着 They was in vials. Little vials.
我问他：“这是什么？” 他说：“这是提炼过的可卡因” I asked him, "What is it" He's like, "It's cocaine cooked up."
他说：“他们吸这东西 如醉如痴” And he was like, "They smoke it and they go crazy."
他给了我100瓶 He gave me a 100-pack.
不到20、30分钟就卖光了 And no more than, like, 20, 30 minutes, that was gone.
烟枪会说话 The stem talks to you.
你想远离烟枪 他会叫你 Walk away from the stem, it's saying, calling you back,
“过来 "Come here.
来 把你剩下的钱花了吧” Come, spend the rest of your money."
人们拿着一把钱来 People would come with a handful of money,
“我只有20块” 他们就买20块的量… like "Oh, I just want a 20," and they would buy 20 and...
我熟悉了这一行之后 And, you know, after I had learned the business,
我就知道：“他会回来的” I was like, "He's gonna come back."
最终 天还没亮 And, eventually, by the end of the night,
他们就会花光手里所有的钱 they had spent every dime they had in their hand.
第一天 我可能就赚了几百块 That first day, I might have made a few hundred dollars.
从那时起 我心想： “我以后就卖这个了 From then, I was like, "Yo, this is what I'm selling right here.
我可以很快挣到钱” I can make money quick."
霹雳可卡因 你到哪儿去 都有霹雳可卡因 Crack, crack. Everywhere you go, crack.
你几乎听不到人们提大麻 You don't hear no dope, hardly.
也听不到人们说可卡因 You don't hear no coke anymore, hardly.
你只听到人们兜售霹雳可卡因 The only thing you hear is people selling crack, crack, crack.
霹雳可卡因出现时 人们觉得 When crack came along, it was like,
“终于来了” "Yo, this is it right here."
这就是我们等待已久的东西 This is what we were waiting for.
好像淘金热 好像一场 席卷草根社区的淘金热 It was like the gold rush. It was like a gold rush that hit the hood.
警察不在乎 他们不在乎 The police didn't care. They didn't care.
他们多数人的态度就是 The majority had the attitude of,
“我当一天和尚撞一天钟 趁早离开这个社区” "Let me just do my shift, and get the hell out of this community."
几乎就是放任自由 You know, it's, like... free run.
因为我们知道不会被抓 'Cause we know we ain't getting arrested.
警察不在乎 Cops don't damn care.
郊区居民每周五晚上来到 纽约的这个社区 Suburbanites come to this neighborhoodin New York
购买周末物资 every Friday night, in search of weekend supplies.
在这里 有人在路边提供服务 Here, curb service is available.
当时街上买霹雳可卡因的人太多了 There was so many people on the street buying crack at the time,
难以置信 it was just unbelievable.
人们坐在车里 按着喇叭 催促他们快点交易 People would besitting in their cars, blowing the horn for them to hurry up
快点卖给下一个 好让他们往前挪动一步 and sell to the other person so they could move up.
为了买毒品 They would actually have traffic
甚至造成了塞车 jams to coming in and buy drugs.
这些人从哪来的？ Where was these people coming from
我家那一带都是黑人 99%黑人 And I lived in a neighborhood that wasall Black, 99 % Black.

有… 但也许要到今晚 Yeah... but maybe tonight.
白人也来了 西语裔也来了 White people was coming, Spanish people was coming.
人们从四面八方涌来买这种神药 There was people coming from all over to buy this wonder drug.
他们来自新泽西和其他各地 来这里买毒品 They come around here from New Jerseyand all those places to get drugs here.
-他们从哪里来？ -新泽西！ - Where do they come from - From New Jersey!
我想人们普遍认为 霹雳可卡因是内城毒品 I think that crack was widely seen as a drug of the inner city,
普遍认为是“都市”问题 widely seen as an "urban" problem,
也就是说 是黑人和拉丁裔在吸食 在售卖 and that meant Black and Latino people were using it and selling it.
我曾是霹雳可卡因上瘾者 从我自己的经历 我知道 I was a crack addict, so I knew, based on my own experience,
这种毒品成瘾的问题 不分社会经济阶层 that this addiction crosses all kinds of socioeconomic lines.
嘿 钱就是钱 你明白吧？ Hey. Money's money, you know
这就是一个简单的真理 钱就是钱 That's just the straight-out truth. Money is money.
哪怕你是两岁小孩 I don't care if you're two years old.
只要你给我35美元买霹雳可卡因 我都一样卖给你 You gonna give me $35 for some crack, I'mma give it to you.
我见过有人把霹雳可卡因 卖给自己妈妈 I've seen people sell crack to their own mother.
他们说：“反正她要找人去买 You know Like, "Yo, she's gonna get it from somewhere, you know
还不如我卖给她” I might as well give it to her."
我们就是街头企业家 We were just being street capitalists.
这就是我们的身份 街头企业家… That's exactly what we were being, street capitalists...
除了挣钱 什么都不管 that didn't care about anything but making money.
第三章 街头企业家
在海洛因和其他毒品流行的时代 In the days of heroin and all the other drugs,
你得有人带你入道 you had to be brought into that.
里面涉及黑帮团伙 The mafia was involved.
你不能想卖就卖 You couldn't just sell that stuff, right
霹雳可卡因不一样… 没有中间人 With crack, it was sort of... There was no middle man.
你不需要任何人批准 You didn't need anybody's authorization for that.
你明白我的意思吗？ 你只需要肯卖力气 Know what I mean You just needed a little hustle.
你得精明一点 你就能成功 You had to be a little savvy, and you could make that happen yourself.
只要你有钱 哪怕你很年轻 If you have the money, even if you're young,
能投资一二百块钱买可卡因 to invest a couple hundred dollars' worth of cocaine, you can...

15万美元 现金！ $150,000,cash!
我们把这些扔了行吗？ 反正我们有50万呢 Can we throw these ones away, man, since we got $500,000
我告诉你我们可以怎么办 我们可以给穷人 I'll tell you what we can do. We can give it to the poor.

南希已经在积极介入反吸毒的工作 Nancy has been intensely involved in the effort to fight drug abuse.
不久前 Not long ago,
一些孩子问我 如果有人给他们毒品 应该怎么办 I was asked by a group of children what to do if they were offered drugs.
我说：“你就说‘不’” And I answered, "Just say,'No.'"
我们是洛杉矶湖人队 我们要说 We're the LA Lakers And we're here to say
毒品每天夺走人的生命 That the drugs are killing every day

南希里根的对毒品说不运动… The "Just Say No" to drugs campaign by Nancy Reagan...
它… 它给人的感觉非常虚伪… It was... It felt extraordinarily hypocritical...
因为与此同时 美国政府 because this was happening at a time when the US government was
还在对毒品走私进入美国的问题 视而不见 turning a blind eye to cocaine smuggling into the United States.
我的毒品来自尼加拉瓜 I was getting my cocaine from Nicaraguans,
多数是 the majority of it.
我的可卡因还有其他来源 You know, there was other sources that I have gotten cocaine from,
但主要来源是尼加拉瓜 but my main source was Nicaraguans.
当时 中美洲正经历惨烈的内战 Central America was going through violent civil wars at the time,
在危地马拉、洪都拉斯、萨尔瓦多 和尼加拉瓜 in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
美国在尼加拉瓜支持了一个独裁政权 The United States had supported a dictatorship in Nicaragua.
那个政权1979年 被桑地诺解放运动推翻了 That government was overthrown by the Sandinista movement in 1979.
那是一个由左派和马克思主义者 组成的大杂烩 It was pretty much a ragtag band of leftists and Marxists.
尼加拉瓜的桑地诺独裁政权 The Sandinista dictatorship of Nicaragua,
得到古巴苏联阵营的全面支持 with full Cuban-Soviet Bloc support,
不仅迫害他们自己的人民 迫害宗教 禁止言论自由 not only persecutes its people, the church, and denies a free press,
而且还为共产主义恐怖分子 提供武器和基地 but arms and provides bases for communist terrorists
让他们袭击临近国家 attacking neighboring states.
美国说： The United States said,
“我们不能容忍中美洲出现 马克思主义政权” "We're notgonna tolerate Marxistsin Central America,"
于是他们开始和游击队合作… so they started working with bands of guerrillas...
帮助他们和尼加拉瓜的 马克思主义政府打仗 facilitating them to take on the Marxist government in Nicaragua.
这些人叫康特拉 Those were the Contras.
美国政府给他们提供食品、 燃料和资金 They were fed, fueled and paid for by the United States government.
里根总统几乎每天 President Reagan was holding press conferences
召开记者会 发表演讲 and doing speeches almost on a daily basis.
那些自由战士今天能在尼加拉瓜作战 Those freedom fighters are inside Nicaragua today
因为我们对他们做出了承诺 because we made a commitment to them.
他赞美康特拉 He was hailing the Contras
说他们在道德上相当于我们的国父 as being the moral equivalents of our Founding Fathers.
现在 我们要断绝对他们的支援 让他们无力自卫吗？ Are we going to cut them off now and leave them defenseless
我们如果那么做 谁还会信任美国？ If we do, who will ever trust in the United States of America again
国会不想支持中美洲的内战 Congress does not want to support a civil war in Central America.
我反对向康特拉提供任何援助 I oppose any aide and assistance to the Contras.
我相信美国人民不想要战争扩大 I believe that the American people do not want wider war.
我相信 美国人民希望 给和平一个机会 I believe the American people want to give peace a chance.
是时候了 The time has come
结束本届政府支持康特拉的政策吧 to put this policy of this administration of support to Contras to bed.
这个政策诞生于欺骗 This was a policy that was born in deception,
诞生于谎言 诞生于隐瞒 born in lies, born in cover-ups.
与其对中美洲再多投入一分钱 Before we invest one more dime in Central America,
不如先照顾好我们国家自己的人民 let's take care of the people who live in this country.
所以 国会说我们不能用 联邦政府的钱支持康特拉 So, Congress says we cannot use federal money to support the Contras.
不能给他们买武器 不能给他们买制服 Can't buy them weapons, can't buy them uniforms,
不能给他们买弹药 can't buy them ammunition.
当时 里根政府开始寻找 At that point, the Reagan administration began to look
其他资金来源 for alternative sources of funding.
其中一个资金来源就是 向伊朗卖军火的利润 And one of those sources of funding became profits from the sale of arms to Iran.
美国 导弹 火箭
我们开始违法向伊朗销售导弹和火箭 We started selling missiles and rockets to Iran, illegally,
把1500万到3000万美元的利润 and taking the profit that amounted to 15, 30 million dollars,
用来资助 that could be shifted to pay
康特拉战争 这场战争已经成为 非法战争 国会不给拨款 for what was now an illegal Contra war that Congress would not fund.
我们和向康特拉运送援助物资的 飞行员合作 We worked with pilots who were flying aid down to the Contras.
美国官员不仅装作看不见 And US officials not just looked the other way,
而且还和不法之徒串通一气 but collaborated with just about any unsavory and dirty individual.
我当时为美联社写一篇 I was working for the Associated Press
关于美国援助尼加拉瓜康特拉叛军 的报道 on the story about the US involvement with the Contra rebels in Nicaragua,
我们不断听说这类事情 we kept hearing these stories,
我简直不敢相信 and it was all kind of in the realm of disbelief for me.
我们有30多个信源 We had more than three dozen sources
向我们描述了尼加拉瓜 describing one or another element of cocaine smuggling
康特拉叛军走私可卡因的情况 by the Nicaraguan Contras.
我们的文章发表时 John Kerry was newly elected to the United States Senate
约翰克里刚当选参议员 when we published our story,
他委派一些幕僚调查此事 and he sent some of his staff out to start looking into this.
今天 我们要讲述一个 Today, we are going to proceed to tell
关于康特拉贩毒的故事 a piece of the Contra drug story.

今天却在 乔治王子县里兰纪念医院死亡 died of an apparent heart attack today
死因可能是心脏病发作 at Leland Memorial Hospital in Prince George's County.
如果说警方为伦拜厄斯突然死亡 感到震惊的话 If police were shocked to hear the news of Len Bias's sudden death,
当他们得知其中可能涉及霹雳可卡因 他们更感到震惊 they were just as shocked to hear crack may have been involved.
目前 警方称本案属于“可疑” Right now, police say the case is labeled "suspicious",
他们没有更多公开评论 and that's all they're saying in public.
今晚 NBC记者吉姆克萨斯基发回报道 Tonight, NBC's JimKaiserski reports how the
伦拜厄斯的悲剧传达了 明确无误的信息 Len Bias tragedy is bringing the message home,
可卡因会致命 cocaine kills.
拜厄斯调查：警方称拜厄斯死前 可能服用过霹雳可卡因
媒体捕捉到这个消息 When the mediagets hold of the story,
人们推测伦拜厄斯 曾吸食霹雳可卡因… the assumption is...that Len Bias had been smoking crack...
那就是他死亡的原因 and that had been responsible for his death.
他成了霹雳可卡因问题的形象代言人 Then he really becomes the kind of poster child for crack
引发了美国关于毒品的新讨论 and the beginning of a new national discussion.
美国媒体抓住了“霹雳可卡因” The American media had gotten a hold of "crack" now.
舆论出现了新的风向和新的叙事 And now it had taken a different trajectory or narrative.
他们不止是说他吸食了霹雳可卡因 Not only did they say he smoked crack,
他们还说 那是他第一次吸食 they said it was his first time smoking crack.
“这种毒品就是这么厉害 这么危险” 他们说 "This is how powerful and dangerous this drug was," they said.
拜厄斯的葬礼上
拜厄斯的葬礼上 杰西杰克逊说 At Len Bias's funeral, Jesse Jackson says,
“毒品害死的黑人比三K党还多” "Dope has taken more Black lives than the Ku Klux Klan rope."
接下来的那一周 克利夫兰 The following week, Don Rogers,
布朗队角卫唐罗杰斯… the cornerback for the Cleveland Browns...
他也死于可卡因 he dies of a cocaine-related death.
他们说他曾服用霹雳可卡因 They alluded to the fact that he had crack.
这就是当时的表述 This is what the narrative was.
“已经泛滥成灾！年轻的黑人男性… "It's an epidemic! Of young Black men...
健壮的运动员 死于可卡因” strong athletes, dying from cocaine."
全国人都在说 可卡因 可卡因 可卡因！ So all over the country, people went, "Cocaine." "Cocaine." "Cocaine!"
媒体像疯了一样 The media is going bananas.
可卡因问题成了可卡因危机 The crack problem has become a crack crisis,
它已经蔓延到全国 and it's spreading nationwide.
提起霹雳可卡因 反复出现两个词 Two words that were used again and again for crack
“泛滥”和“瘟疫” were "epidemic" and "plague."
“毒品泛滥成灾 其危险性不亚于任何 恐怖分子 "The drug epidemic is as dangerous as any terrorist that we face.
很严重 这是一场大瘟疫 它会让人送命” It is serious. It is an epidemic and it can kill."
参众两院委员会上 已经有人这么说… Just some of what was said to House and Senate committees...
它们被用来吓人 They were used to scare people.
政客用它来吓人 媒体用它来吓人 Politicians used them to scare people. The media used them to scare people.
奏效了 And it worked.
这种毒品十分厉害 它能掏空你兜里的钱 The drug so powerful, it will empty the money from your pockets,
让你卖掉手表 卖掉衣服… make you sell the watch off your wrist, the clothes off your back...
杀害你的母亲 Or kill your mother.
我如果想表现毒品问题 If I want to show the drug problem,
就派一个摄制组去马丁路德金大道 send the camera crew down to Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue,
我们会拍黑人男青年 and we'll show some young Black men
坐在建筑物大门口或站在店铺门前 sitting on a stoop or standing in front of a store.
“那就是霹雳可卡因问题！ 就在那儿！就在那儿！” "There's the crack problem! There they are! There they are!"
CBS新闻频道所说的霹雳街 What CBS News called Crack Street
已经延伸到了全国各地的大小城市 clearly stretches into cities and towns across the nation.
洛杉矶黑帮垄断了不下25座城市的 霹雳可卡因业务 Los Angeles gangs have franchised crack operations in more than 25 cities.
包括你可能想象不到的城市 比如奥马哈、堪萨斯和丹佛 Towns as unlikely as Omaha, Kansas City, Denver.
甚至约克和费城 美国的核心地带 Even York, Pennsylvania. Bedrock Middle America.
媒体针对霹雳可卡因及其影响 展开疯狂报道 The media was generating these frenzies about crack and its impact,
谁在服用 他们在哪儿 who was using crack and where.
密苏里州堪萨斯城的警察今天上午在 Police in Kansas City, Missouri are searching this morning
寻找一名女性 她用自己刚出生的 儿子换了20美元的霹雳可卡因 for a woman who swapped her infant son for $20 worth of crack-cocaine.
这名四个月大的男婴被交给了社工 The four-month-old boy was turned over to social workers.
我们看到一种刻板印象 关于黑人女性 We see stereotypes about the, kind of, pathology of Black women
黑人母亲、贫穷黑人母亲的病苦 and Black women mothers, poor Black women mothers,
在霹雳可卡因的背景下被重新解读 get translated in the context of crack.
霹雳可卡因的瘟疫显示出 一个新的可怕的侧面 The crack plague is showing a new and frightening dimension,
可卡因成瘾者的孩子所遭受的伤害 the damage it does to the children of crack addicts.
今晚深度调查 可卡因儿童 Investigative report tonight, cocaine kids.
可卡因成瘾的母亲生下的孩子 Infants born to cocaine-addict mothers.
她妈妈在分娩时毒品效力正在发作 Her mother was so stonedat the time of delivery,
直到第二天才知道小孩出生了 she didn't realize until sometime the next day that she had given birth.
霹雳可卡因婴儿的报道所依据的 基本就是一篇论文 The whole crack baby thing was based largely on one paper published
作者是艾拉切斯诺夫 芝加哥一名儿科医生 by a guy named Ira Chasnoff, a Chicago pediatrician.
艾拉切斯诺夫说 Ira Chasnoff suggested that there were
孕期接触可卡因会造成 严重和独特的伤害 extreme and unique harms from prenatal exposure to cocaine.
他的研究以23名婴儿为依据 His research, based on approximately 23 babies,
不能也不应该引起 could not, should not, ever have led
大惊小怪和那样连篇累牍的报道 to the kind of alarm and reporting that happened.
-毒品婴儿… -可卡因婴儿… - Drug babies-- - Coke babies--
可卡因婴儿 他们到了上学的年龄 Crack kids. They have now reached school age.
从《纽约时报》到《时代》杂志 There was hyperventilating reporting
的“可卡因儿童” in everything from the New York Times
到处都是耸人听闻的报道 to "Crack Kids" in TIME Magazine.
媒体打出这样的标题： And you had headlines such as,
“可卡因婴儿： 最大的威胁是母亲自己” "Crack Babies: The Worst Threat Is Mom Herself."
那些报道都配着黑人小孩的照片 And those stories featured pictures of Black children.
很难说这件事 因为都是胡扯 It's hard to really talk about this,'cause it was such bullshit.
这些东西被当作真实的信息大行其道 Stuff like that actually paraded as real information.
对人们形成“可卡因婴儿”的观念 起了很大作用 And so that played a large role in this notion of "crack babies."
当然 我们现在知道那都是假的 我们现在知道了 Of course, we now know it was a lie. We now know that.
实际上并不存在这么一场瘟疫 It was the epidemic that was not.
每年有十万可卡因婴儿出生 One hundred thousand crack babiesare being born each year.
现在看来 他们遭受的伤害 可能是终生的 And now it appears they may be damaged for life.
随着这些孩子长到入学年龄 可怕的事情可能会发生 A potential horror story as these children reach school age.
在一些内城的学校 可能用不了几年 In a few short years, these children may comprise as many as 60 % of students
这些孩子可能就会占到60% in some inner-city classes.
事实上 这个时期出生的婴儿 只有百分之二到三 In reality, only two to three percent of children born
被发现体内有可卡因 during this period were discovered to haveany cocaine in their system.
真正的母婴健康问题 The real, kind of, maternal issue
更多地与酗酒和大麻有关 had to do much more with alcohol abuse and marijuana.
而他们兜售给美国大众的却是这个 Yet that's what gets sold to the American public,
很多黑人女性 and also introduces a new kind of level of criminalization.
因此获刑 In the lives of Black women
他们所在的社群本来就已经是 重点打击对象了 living in communities that are already being targeted.
我孩子的父亲抛弃了我 我感到很孤独 孤立无援 I was abandoned by my children's father and I felt very alone and isolated.
在我最困难的时候 In my crisis,
我告诉我的医生 我有滥用药物的问题 I shared with my doctor that, you know, I had a substance abuse issue.
他就把我的事告诉了警察 And he literally turned my case over to the police.
她对自己的毒品问题完全没有掩盖 Despite the fact that she was completely honest about her drug problem
希望医生、医疗系统 in the hope that medical people, the healthcare system,
能帮她找到所需的救治方案 would somehow connect her to treatment she needed,
可是结果她却被逮捕 罪名是虐待儿童 instead she was arrested and charged with child abuse
向未成年人提供毒品 and delivery of drugs to a minor,
好像她是毒贩子 as if she were a drug dealer or a drug peddler.
去年 佛罗里达一名女性被裁定 通过脐带向未成年人 Last year, a Florida woman was convicted of administering
提供可卡因 cocaine to a minor, via the umbilical cord.
其他一些州也在尝试同样的做法 Several other states are trying the same thing.
我们相信这是检控官第一次 We believe it was the first time a prosecutor
起诉一名女性在她的小孩 charged a woman with dealing drugs to her newborn
出生60秒内 脐带尚未剪断时 in the 60 seconds after the baby was born,
向其提供毒品 but while the umbilical cord was still attached.
他们根本没有任何证据 They had no direct evidence whatsoever
证明任何物质通过脐带传给了孩子 that in fact there was any transfer of anything.
他们惩罚的是什么？她犯了什么罪？ So, what was being punished What was the crime
我生下了两个健康的婴儿 I was able to deliver two healthy babies.
尽管存在误解和科学上错误的信息 Despite the myth and scientific misinformation.
但我的家庭被拆散了 But my family was being divided.
我的孩子长期交由亲戚抚养 去了另一个州 And my kids went to long-term relative care, out of state.
好痛苦 It was devastating.
法官不懂成瘾问题 The judge had no understanding of addiction,
她没有选择 她控制不了 which was, she didn't have choice, she didn't have control.
她需要帮助 也曾寻求帮助 She needed help. She asked for help.
她得不到那种帮助 从没人给她帮助 She wasn't able to get that help. It was never offered to her.
她提出请求的时候 那种帮助并不存在 It didn't exist at the time she was asking.
几乎同时 Around the same time,
一名白人护士 舍丽布朗 a white nurse named Shirley Brown
在南卡罗莱纳州医科大学 at the Medical University of South Carolina
开始给她的黑人患者做毒品检测 began drug-testing her Black patient base.
她秘密地寻找 黑人孕妇服用可卡因的证据 And she would secretly search pregnant Black women for evidence of cocaine use.
能否告诉我你是怎么获得毒品的？ You wanna just tell me how you obtain your drugs Is it...
你买的？提供性服务换来的？ Do you buy them Do you trade it for sex
问这些干什么？ What are these questions going in
你要把答案给谁看？ I mean, who you gonna give these answers to
这些答案是给我自己看的 These answers are for me.
她向警察提供了这些信息 She made that available to the police
帮助警察找到这些女性 and helped the police come to the women's bedside
把她们带离病床 and take them out of the beds,
有的仍在妊娠期 有的是刚分娩后不久 either while they were still pregnant or shortly after they had delivered,
刚生完孩子 还在流着血 while they were still bleeding from having delivered their babies.
他们联合起来给黑人女性定罪 It was a concerted effort to criminalize Black women.
而你给黑人女性 The way you could criminalize Black women,
或任何女性定罪的方式 or you could criminalize virtually any woman,
就是说她们伤害儿童 他们就是那么做的 is by saying she's harming children. And that's what they did then.
雪罗尔！快开门！ Sheryl! Come on!
别让你的小孩上街乱跑 Keep your baby out the street.
她会被车撞了的 She gonna get hit one of these days.
你有可卡因吗？有霹雳可卡因吗？ 我给你吹箫 You got some blow You got some rock I'll suck your dick.
看好你的小孩就是了 Just keep the baby out the streets.
流行文化接受了这种观念 Popular culture picked up on the idea
认为吸食霹雳可卡因的 主要是那些病态的黑人女性 that the primary user of crack was this pathological Black woman
她们爱毒品胜过爱她们的孩子 who loved crack more than she loved her children.
在这些故事里 她们的形象是扁平化的 And gave her absolutely no dimension, even in telling that story.
她就那么凭空出现 She just sort of appeared out of nowhere,
一个失败者 吸食霹雳可卡因 丢弃了她的孩子 some loser, smoking crack, throwing her kids away.
关于她的其他一切我们都不知道 We don't know anything else about her.
有一个姑娘 走在大街上 Here's a story 'bout a girl Who was trickin' on the ave
她可能是你妈妈 但你别笑 It might be your mama But don't you laugh
你妈妈吸霹雳可卡因 Your mama's on crack rock
我妈妈没有 Not my mama
你妈妈吸霹雳可卡因 Your mama's on crack rock
你们说谎 You guys lyin'
吸食霹雳可卡因的人被妖魔化… The people who were smoking crack were vilified...
给全国人民一个印象 giving the impression to the country
好像这些人失控了 that these people were out of control
因为她们吸毒 because they used this substance.
“这些人不配得到我们的帮助 因为她们吸毒 "These people deserve no help from us because they use this substance.
我们可以不用管这些人” These people we can disregard."
所以才这么危险 That's why it's so dangerous.
你妈妈吸霹雳可卡因 Your mama's on crack rock
你让我妈妈挨打 You got my mama beat
你妈妈吸霹雳可卡因 Your mama's on crack rock
因为她是大毒虫 'Cause she's a crackhead
只要你说有人吸霹雳可卡因 When you say that somebody uses crack,
其他一切都不用谈了 you don't have to talk about anything else.
你不用谈论失业问题 You don't have to talk about the lost jobs.
你不用谈论某人曾被性侵 You don't have to talk about if someone's been sexually assaulted
正在自我用药 and is self-medicating.
你什么都不用说 You don't have to talk about anything.
你可以扔到一边 You can throw away.
我们同意 有些人可以被扔到一边 We agreed that some of our people were worthy of being thrown away.
这就是在我们的注视下发生的事 And that's what happened on our watch.
自从他们的街区出现霹雳可卡因 Since crack appeared, thousands
千万名布朗克斯区居民 of residents in the Bronx
开始呼吁增加警力 保护家园 have workedto demand more police protection
把毒贩赶出他们的社区 to drive drug dealers out of their neighborhoods.
打倒毒品！守护希望！打倒… Down with dope! Up with hope!
在佛罗里达 市民抗议毒品 In Florida, citizens protest against drugs
支持警察执法 and in favor of law enforcement,
他们要让毒贩听到他们的心声 sending dealers the message.
打倒毒品！ Down with dope!
黑人社区有人说必须采取行动 You got people in the Black community saying something has to be done.
霹雳可卡因杀人！ Crack kills! Crack kills!
在迈阿密 应教会和公民组织的要求 In Miami, at the request of church and civic groups,
警方加派了反霹雳可卡因 摩托车特别巡逻队 police added special anti-crack motorcycle patrols.
-不过你们很高兴看到他们？ -是的 我很高兴 - You're glad to see them, though - Yes. Yes, I am.
总得有人做点什么 Somebody has to do something.
嘿 毒贩子！嘿 说你呢！ Hey, pusher! Hey, you!
这里的黑人盯着你们呢 Black men out here are watching you.
嘿 毒贩子！嘿 说你呢！ Hey, pusher! Hey, you!
人们很害怕 他们不知道还能怎么办 People were frightened. They didn't know what else to do.
当你的周围暴力泛滥 When you're surrounded by that much violence,
充满丑恶… that much ugliness...
他们只好做了 他们认为可以终止这种疯狂的事 They resort to what they think will stop the madness.
要是我 就会去借玲玲马戏团的笼子 If I had my way, I'd borrow the Ringling Brothers' cages
把这些毒贩关起来 在各个社区示众 and cage these drug pushers and exhibit them in all the neighborhoods
让小孩认识什么叫人渣 so the kids can see scum.
他们就是人渣 That's what they are, scum.
当时 来自哈勒姆的国会议员 查理兰格尔 We have our congressman from Harlem, Charlie Rangel at the time,
告诉罗纳德里根 and he's telling Ronald Reagan,
“你为黑人群体做得不够 "You're not doing enough for the Black community.
你不在乎我们” You don't care about us."
为了赢得战争 In order to win a war,
你需要有资源 而资源是要花钱的 you have to have the resources, and resources cost money.
所有人心里都很清楚 And there's no question in anybody's mind
美国人民是准备好付出代价了的 that the American people are prepared to pay for it.
把他们关起来 让他们消失 Lock them up, get them off the street.
当时我很确信 社区是支持的 There was no question in my mind at that time the community was behind it.
而那些神父… And the ministers...
他们不断质问政客 they would just raise hell with the politicians.
“我们为什么选你？” “我们的街区为什么不能更安全？” "Why have we elected you" "Why aren't our streets safer"
你不能买一瓶牛奶 却可以买到霹雳可卡因 You can buy crack when you can't buy a bottle of milk.
我说 判他们终身监禁 And I'm saying sentence them for life.
消灭霹雳可卡因！ No more crack!
我们要收回我们的大楼！ We want our building back!
消灭毒品！消灭可卡因！ No more drugs! No more crack!
太疯狂了… It was so crazy...
父母会请求政府 把他们的孩子抓起来… parents would beg to lock their own children up...
因为他们贩毒 because they were out here dealing in drugs.
人们必须表明立场 就像我们这样 People have to take a stand, like we're doing.
如果他们要在本社区消灭毒品 If they want drugs out of the neighborhood,
就要表明立场 they've got to take a stand.
社区认为那是错的 So, the community think it's wrong,
政客认为那是错的 共和党和民主党 politicians think it's wrong, Republicans and Democrats.
这让政客们爽得很 I mean, it was a politician's wet dream.
那些肮脏的罪犯赚到几百万美元 It's sleazebags of greed and slime that make millions.
我们的孩子会继续面临 Our children are gonna continue to be exposed
那种叫做霹雳可卡因的可怕的新毒品 的威胁 to that horrible, horrible new concoction called crack.
可卡因曾经是专属于有钱人的娱乐 Cocaine used to be the exclusive pastime of the wealthy.
现在拿零花钱就能买到 Now, it can be bought with allowance money.
所以在1986年 So, it's 1986.
要举行选举了 There's gonna be an election.
众议院所有议员都面临改选 All the members of the House of Representatives are up for re-election.
现在 And now,
“反毒品战争是一个机会 让人们看看我有多强硬” "The War on Drugs is an opportunity to talk about how tough I am."
众议院议长是蒂普奥尼尔 The Speaker of the House is Tip O'Neill.
他说：“我要一个全面反毒法案” And he says, "I want a comprehensive anti-drug bill."
他要求四周内搞好 And he wants it done in four weeks,
这样议员们就可以 带着他们的成绩去竞选 so that members can go campaign on what they've accomplished.
显示他们有多强硬 How tough they've been.
如何阻止这股洪水猛兽 How to stop this plague in its tracks.
如果如我所愿 If I had my way,
我会把所有毒贩子都抓起来 I would take all the drug pushers, take Alcatraz,
送到恶魔岛终身监禁 不许探视 and send them there for life without the privilege of any visitors.
一般来说 公众很难理解 It's hard, generally, for the public to appreciate
一部法律草案从提交到 how long it takes for a bill to go from first being introduced to finally passing
在参众两院通过 最后被总统签署需要多久 the House and the Senate and being signed by the President.
在华盛顿 这可能需要几年时间 In Washington, it might take years.
但蒂普奥尼尔想用四周完成 But Tip O'Neill wants this done in four weeks.
所以 在那段时间里 So, in that window,
在最后一周 他们提议 in pretty much the last week, it comes up,
“我们加一个法定最低量刑办法吧 毒贩子要重判” "Let's write these mandatory minimums and throw the book at these dope dealers."
今天 我很高兴地签署一部法案 Today, it gives me great pleasure to sign legislation
它反映了美国人民及其政府 that reflects the total commitment of the American people
打击邪恶毒品的决心 and their government to fight the evil of drugs.
《反滥用毒品法》
这是历史上最不公正的联邦法律 It was the most unjust federal law ever written.
它规定了粉末状可卡因和… It has a ratio of powder cocaine...
100克判多少年 100 grams gets you a certain sentence,
一克霹雳可卡因还是判这么多年 one gram of crack gets you the same sentence.
你看看餐厅里的小糖包 那就是一克 If you've seen a sugar packet in the restaurant, that's one gram.
很少量 There's a tiny amount of stuff.
根据这部法律 五克霹雳可卡因就能 Five of those tiny amounts of crack would get you a minimum of five years,
至少判你五年 最多判40年 up to 40 years under the legislation that passed.
五克霹雳可卡因 500克粉末状可卡因… Five grams of crack, 500 grams of powder cocaine...
一样的结果 the same sentence.
很多人想 Many people thought,
“这一定是因为 "Well, that must be because
国会认为霹雳可卡因比粉末状可卡因 危险100倍” Congress thought that crack was 100 times more dangerous than powder cocaine."
不是的 No.
这是因为我们起草法律太仓促 This was a feature of the haste with which we wrote this.
我们究竟要实现什么都没想清楚 So fast we're not even thinking straight about what we're trying to accomplish.
他们写错了 It was a screw-up.
一个错误加一个错误 It was screw-up on top of screw-up on top of screw-up.
这事发生在1986年 That happened in 1986.
这部法律打击“贩运者” And that law targeted "traffickers".
1988年 他们把法律扩大 That's... 1988, they extended that law
把任何持有霹雳可卡因的人 也包括进来 to include anybody who possessed crack-cocaine.
1988年的法律决定 The decision in the 1988 legislation
对持有少量霹雳可卡因 to associate a mandatory minimum penalty
规定一个最低刑期 with the possession of a small amount of crack-cocaine
当时 里根政府的官员态度 was part of a larger shift and a decision
发生改变 他们决定 on the part of officials in the Reagan administration
给吸毒者定罪 to criminalize drug abusers,
特别是给吸食霹雳可卡因的人定罪 and specifically to criminalize people who abused crack.
当时的想法是… The thinking at the time was that...
霹雳可卡因… 在黑人群体中… crack... was being used...
被更加公开地吸食 more openly in the Black community,
而可卡因是一种秘密毒品 and cocaine was a secret drug
中产阶级偷偷地吸食 不会伤害到谁 that middle class people used that didn't hurt anybody.
他们没抢劫 没杀人越货 They weren't mugging, they weren't killing, they weren't robbing.
他们的想法就是 如果可以集中力量 对付社会危害最大的问题… The whole idea, if you could concentrate on where the most damage to society was...
这过火了 很显然太过火了 And it was overkill. Clearly, it was overkill.
没有道理 There was no justification.
我猜最好的解释就是… And I guess the best answer to it...
我们经常听到的那句话 is an oft-time phrase that you've heard,
“当时看起来是个好主意” "Seemed like a good idea at the time."
我 乔治赫伯特沃克布什 庄严宣誓… I, George Herbert Walker Bush, do solemnly swear...
“我将忠诚履行…” "I will faithfully executethe office...."
1989年 In 1989,
民调显示 毒品问题 the polls show that drugs were
是大众第一关心的问题 the number-one issue that the public was concerned about.
所以 乔治布什上台后 So, George H.W. Bush had come into office
誓言打击这个国家面临的 毒品泛滥问题 vowing to crack down on the drug epidemic that was confronting the country.
朋友们 我们有工作要做 My friends,we have work to do.
有人无法摆脱各种成瘾问题的奴役 There are those who cannot free themselves of enslavement to whatever addiction,
对毒品成瘾 对福利成瘾 贫民窟的道德堕落 drugs, welfare, the demoralization that rules the slums.
别忘了乔治布什是里根的副总统 Remember, George H.W. Bush was Reagan's vice president.
在里根政府早期 就是他负责 He actually had been in charge of anti-drug operations
白宫的反毒品工作 for the White House in the early years of the Reagan Administration.
所以他有理由希望让人们看到 So, he had every reason to want to show
自己比任何人都更强硬 he was gonna be tougher than anybody.
并没有多少明确无误的问题 There are few clear areas
要求我们作为一个社会必须团结一致 in which we as a society must rise up united
表明我们的零容忍 and express our intolerance.
现在 毒品问题就是这样的一个问题 And the most obvious now is drugs.
这方面有很多事要做… And there is much to be done...
很多话要说 and to be said.
但请相信我的话 这场灾难终将结束！ But take my word for it, this scourge will stop!
毒品问题和霹雳可卡因的问题 受到越来越多的政治关注 The political attention on the drug issue and the crack issue was escalating.
毒品几乎成了美国人生活方式的反面 Drugs become almost the antithesis of the American way of life.
毒品就是敌人 必须被消灭 Drugs is the enemy that we must destroy.
我在为缉毒局工作 I was working with DEA.
有一天 我被要求 在白宫门前购买毒品 And I was asked to purchase drugs in front of the White House one day.
所以… 我给我经常打交道的 一名毒贩打电话 So... I called one of the drug dealers I'd been dealing with.
我说：“来白宫” I said, "Come to the White House."
他说：“白宫在哪儿？” He said, "Where the fuck is that"
我还得告诉他怎么去白宫 I had to actually tell him how to get there.
他来了之后 我们坐在一条公园长椅上 When he came down there, we sat on the little park bench.
他给我毒品 我给他钱 He gave me the drugs, I gave him the money.
我们身后 可以看到有人走进白宫 You can see the people in the background going into the White House.
我们都同意 今天我们国家面临的 最大国内威胁就是毒品 All of us agree that the gravest domestic threat facing our nation today is drugs.
这是乔治布什总统的 This was President George H.W. Bush's
第一次全国电视讲话 first national TV address.
我记得我看了… I remember watching it, and, uh...
总统拿出… the President had this...
一件道具 出乎所有人的意料 gimmick that nobody expected.
这个… This...
这就是霹雳可卡因 This is crack-cocaine.
几天前缉毒局在白宫对面 Seized a few days ago by drug enforcement agents
一个公园里缴获的 in a park just across the street from the White House.
看呐 乔治布什在电视上 拿出我买的毒品 Lo and behold, George Bush holds up the drugs I just bought, on TV.
我差点从椅子上掉下来 I almost fell out of my chair.
太疯狂了 我不敢相信我不敢相信 It was crazy. I could not believe that. I couldn't believe it.
因为这是作假 Because it was a setup.
看上去像糖果一样无害 It's as innocent-looking as candy.
但是 它却把我们的城市变成战场 But it's turning our cities into battle zones.
那是政治作秀 It was a case of political theater.
白宫操纵了一个非常… 年轻的孩子… The White House manipulating a real... young kid...
为了达到政治目的 给自己加分 阐明一个政治观点 for political purposes in order to score and make a political point.
在这里 规则变了 Here, the rules have changed.
如果你贩卖毒品 你会被抓住 If you sell drugs, you will be caught.
一旦被抓住 你会被起诉 And when you're caught, you will be prosecuted.
一旦被判有罪 你就会坐牢 And once you're convicted, you will do time.
今天 白宫承认 布什总统向毒品宣战 的讲话中 The White House acknowledged today that a dramatic moment
一段戏剧性的镜头 in President Bush's speech declaring war on drugs
是经过美国缉毒人员安排的 resulted from a setup by American drug agents.
他去到白宫门前卖毒品了 是不是？ He went there and sold drugs in front of the White House, didn't he
这是基本事实 That was the bottom line.
那是他干的 他因此被捕了 That's what the man did and he was arrested for it.
我希望他因此被捕了 我不知道 I hope he's arrested for it. I don't know.
我不同情这个人 I can't feel sorry for this fella.
结果 这个没有前科 没有暴力记录的孩子… So, this teenager with no priors, no record of violence, um,
在联邦监狱坐了将近十年的牢 ended up spending nearly a decade of his life in federal prison.

今天 纽约警察在这里 安葬他们的战友 came as New York's police buried one of their own today.
22岁的爱德华伯恩周五早晨中枪身亡 Twenty-two-year-old Edward Byrne was shot to death early Friday morning.
艾迪伯恩的故事非同小可 The Eddie Byrne story was a big, big deal.
一个新手警察被毒贩枪杀 You're talking about a rookie cop getting murdered by drug dealers.
就是在车里坐着 他没有… 他什么也没做 Just sitting in the car. And he didn't... He didn't do anything.
如果我们的儿子艾迪 坐在警车里 If our son Eddie, sitting in a police car,
代表我们 保护我们… representing and protecting us...
却被坏人… can be wasted...
杀害… by scum...
那么我们没有人是安全的 then none of us are safe.
伦拜厄斯的事只是引起了关注 What happened to Len Bias just brought attention.
警察没有真正采取行动 There wasn't no real action from the police.
但爱德华伯恩在皇后区遇害后 But after Edward Byrne got killed in Queens,
他们说：“你们为这个 杀害我们的警员？ they were, like, "You killed one of our police officers because of this
现在 你们会尝到后果 整个国家都会看到” Now y'all gonna feel it. The whole nation is gonna feel it."
我保证 This is a promise.
杀戮必须也一定会停止 The killing must and will stop.
好的！我什么也没有！ All right! I ain't got nothing, man!
一起谋杀案改变了全美国的警察局 One murder changed the police departments around America.
警察疯了 Police went crazy.
他们疯了 They went crazy.
他们组建了一个特别工作组 叫缉毒战术小队 They developed this new task force that they called TNT.
曼哈顿南区缉毒战术小队 The Manhattan South Tactical Narcotics Team
在公园购买霹雳可卡因 随即逮捕了几名毒品买主 arrested several drug customers after buying crack in the park.
他们调动所有可用的警力 They took every cop they could find
加入这个小组 整天搞便衣行动 逮捕涉毒者 and threw them into this unit, and all day they was doing buy-and-busts.
我们是警察 你被捕了 We the police. You under arrest.
吸食霹雳可卡因的多数是白人 The majority of crack users were white,
但参与毒品经济的人中 很多是有色人种 but a lot of the people involved in the economy were people of color.
警察专门针对 And the police specifically targeted
参与地下交易的有色人种进行打击 the populations of color that were involved in this underground economy.
针对霹雳可卡因的大规模警察行动 A massive police crackdown on crack.
他们会执行大规模突击搜查 They would make these big sweeps.
在一个社区发动的最大规模突击搜查 The largest drug sweep ever in a single neighborhood.
他们搜查的时候如果抓到你 And when that swoop comes and they snatch you,
如果从一个人身上搜出十瓶 霹雳可卡因 而你身上一瓶也没有 if they take ten cracks off of one person, and you have none,
他们就一分两半 他五瓶你五瓶 they will split it and give him five and you five.
警察！ Police!
他们气势汹汹地闯进社区 They was coming at the hoodwith a vengeance.
-好的 好的！ -趴到地上！ - Okay, okay! - Put your face on the ground!
爬出来！双手着地！ Crawl! Get down on your hands!
从那一刻开始 就变了 And from there on, it changed.
他们给你戴上手铐 把你关起来 They putting on the cuffs, your ass was getting locked up.
这些年轻人会被当街拦住 搜身 These kids would be stopped on the street,frisked.
他们可能会被扔进警车 They could be throwninto a police car.
一关就是三四天 Kept locked up in the system three, four days
都没人知道你去哪儿了 before anybody knew where you were.
他们说：“你贩毒 你要坐牢” They said, "You're dealing drugs, you're going to jail."
15年、20年、30年 不一定 Fifteen, 20, 30 years. Doesn't matter.
尤其如果你是黑人的话 Especially if you're Black.
对警察来说… With the police...
他们不知道他们在干什么 they don't know whatthe hell they're doing.
因为他们分不清好人坏人 Because they can't differentiate the good from the bad.
你们都长得差不多 行为举止都差不多 You guys all look alike. You all act alike.
所以你们得到同样的对待 So you all get treated the same.
我因为持有管制药物被捕 I was arrested for being in possession of a controlled substance.
那种药物就是霹雳可卡因 And that substance was crack.
我记得凌晨3点 有人拉我的腿 You know, I remember my leg being pulled on about 3:00 in the morning,
我被叫醒 穿上衣服 被送进了监狱 and woken up to get dressed to be shipped off to prison.
我还有其他70个女的 Me and about 70 other women,
关在一个大屋子里 衣服都脱掉 put into a large room, stripped out of our clothing.

但克林顿必须显得更加强硬… but Clinton, then, has to be even tougher...
因为事情就是这样 because that's the thing.
人们要显得很强硬 People have got to be tougher.
第八章 更强硬
我们会有足够资源 确保罪犯逃脱不了惩罚 We will have the means by which we can say punishment will be more certain.
我们会派出十万名警察上街执法 警力增加20% We will put 100,000 police officers on the street, a 20 % increase.
快！快！ Go! Move! Move! Move!
反毒战争让警察变成了士兵 Get down!The war on drugs helped turn the police into soldiers.
好 别动 不许动！不许动！ All right. Hold it. Hold it. Freeze! Freeze!
国会拨出几千万美元 Tens of millions of dollars from Congress
购买直升飞机 帮助警察军事化 goes to helicopters and to militarizing police forces.
警察的工作发生变革 There is restructuring
从普通的社区巡警变成一支 接受资金支持的精英力量 of policing from ordinary beat cops to creating these elite, funded units
被赋予特殊资源和特殊权力 that are given special resources and special powers.
对警察的投入达到新高度 We begin to see a new level of investment
让他们针对低收入有色人种… into targeting low-income communities of color...
进行执法和监管 with policing and surveillance,
量刑也越来越重 越来越严苛 while making sentences more Draconian and more punitive.
我妻子和孩子在里面呢 My wife and kids are in there, man.
噢 上帝啊！ Oh, my God!
联邦反毒预算达到了120亿美元 The federal anti-drug budget is up to $12 billion.
是里根刚上台时候的六倍 So, it's six times what it was when Reagan started,
而且还在增加 and it keeps climbing.
当我签署这项打击犯罪的法案时 When I sign this crime bill,
我们一起向前迈出了一大步 we together are taking a big step
让我们国家的法律再次与 toward bringing the laws of our land back into line
我们人民的价值观相一致 with the values of our people.
1994年的打击犯罪法案 支持街头执法的新警官 The 1994 crime bill supports new police officers on the streets
不止在纽约、芝加哥这样的大城市 of not just big cities like New York and Chicago,
也有小城市 比如印第安纳和弗林特 还有加州斯托克顿 but smaller cities like your Indiana and Flint and Stockton, California.
几千万美元的资金 被用来扩大监狱系统 There's tens of millions of dollars going into expanding the prison system.
就是从那时起 我们看到 And that is when we really begin to see the explosion
美国监狱人口激增 of prison populations in theUS.
克林顿时期 入狱率大幅升高 Incarceration rates take off under Clinton.
可是… But then...
几乎在同一个时期 1994年 人们开始担心 about the same time, '94, people start to become concerned
因为霹雳可卡因被捕的 that the people who were being arrested for crack
几乎全都是黑人 were almost exclusively Black.
吸食霹雳可卡因的人 有三分之二是白人 Two-thirds of crack users were white.
但是从1988年通过《反滥用毒品法》 But between the passage of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act in 1988
到1994年通过克林顿的打击犯罪法 and 1994, the passage of Clinton's crime bill,
在洛杉矶没有一名白人被认定触犯了 not a single white person was convicted
有关霹雳可卡因的联邦法律 of a federal crack offense in Los Angeles.
涉毒犯罪的黑人囚犯
增长707%
非裔美国群体对大规模的监禁 There is just massive outrage in the African-American community
和霹雳可卡因经济 about mass incarceration,
带来的伤害感到非常愤怒 and also about the damage inflicted by the crack economy itself.
1996年 洛杉矶
很多人的怒火集中于中央情报局… Much of the anger became focused on the CIA...
及其在制造霹雳可卡因危机的过程中 所扮演的角色 and its role in helping to createthe crack crisis.
没有什么分别 It doesn't make any difference.
不管是他们亲自运毒 Whether they delivered the kilo themselves
还是别人贩运 他们置若罔闻 or turned their heads while somebody else did it,
他们都同样有罪 they're just as guilty.
我要让他们为他们给我的社区 和我的人民 I am going to make somebody pay for what they have done
造成的伤害付出代价 to my community and to my people.
我想中情局参与了 I think the CIA is involved.
过去二三十年所有肮脏的事 The CIA's been involved in every ugly thing that's happened
中情局都参与了 over the last 20 or 30 years.
我们为你们敲响警钟！ We are your wake-up call!
霹雳可卡因泛滥影响到社区的 The crack epidemic affected the poverty levels,
贫困程度和安全程度 the safety levels of communities.
人们的健康受到影响 People's health was affected.
人们的生命因此终结或被改变 People's lives were ended or changed.
人们失去了自由 People lost their freedom.
我没有把毒品带进美国 I'm not bringing drugs into the country.
有些身居重要位置的人 See, there are people in major positions
-在把毒品带进来 -一定是 - that are doing this. - Has to be.
所以 一个深受其害的群体 So, it is certainly understandable
当他们听说美国政府可能与 why a community that was so disproportionately affected
毒品流入他们的社区有些关系 would rise up in disgust and horror
他们的憎恨和震惊 at any implication that the US government was even a little bit involved
也就可以理解了 in drugs coming into their community.
80年代和90年代 洛杉矶是 霹雳可卡因危机的震中 Los Angeles was the epicenter for crack in the 1980s and 1990s.
洛杉矶人的愤怒蔓延到了全国 Much of the anger in Los Angeles spills over into the rest of the country,
洛杉矶又成了中心 组织抗议运动的中心 and LA becomes the center, the epicenter of organizing.
这种组织工作最终迫使中情局局长 约翰多伊奇 And this organizing ultimately forces the head of the CIA, John Deutch,
来到洛杉矶 在沃茨的一所高中公开讲话 to come to Los Angeles and to speak at a high school in Watts.
中情局局长今天来到洛杉矶 The director of the CIA was in Los Angeles today,
力图平息有关中情局在历史上 trying to put down reports that the CIA, in the past,
纵容霹雳可卡因流入美国城市的报道 connived to spread crack-cocaine in America's inner cities.
这一刻 社区民众直面中情局 It's this moment, essentially, of the community confronting the CIA.
在我居住的鲍德温村 孩子们找不到工作 In Baldwin Village where I live, there are no jobs for the children.
我们的孩子成了商品 And our kids are commodities.
他们被送进监狱 又放出来 They're being cycled through the prisons.
回到街上 They come back to the street
一辈子被打上烙印与伤疤 and they're marked and scarred for the rest of their life.
我们累了 我们受了伤 我们很愤怒 We are tired and we're hurt, and we're angry.
给我们解释 Give us explanations.
你 总统 还有其他所有人 都应该非常不安… You, the President, and everybody else should be highly upset...
都应该说：“这种癌症 是怎么来到这里的？ and say, "How did this cancer get here
它是怎么发生的？” How did it happen"
我们都知道 80年代中期 美国政府 Now, we all know that the US government and the CIA supported
和中情局支持康特拉 the Contras and their efforts to overthrow
推翻尼加拉瓜的桑地诺政权 the Sandinista government in Nicaragua in the middle-'80s.
现在有人说 中情局还帮助康特拉 把霹雳可卡因 Now, it is alleged the CIA also helped the Contras raise money for arms
输入加利福尼亚 借此筹集资金购买军火 by introducing crack-cocaine into California.
这是一个令人震惊的指控 It is an appalling charge.
这个指控必须得到回应 It is a charge that cannot go unanswered.
我已要求中情局检查长进行全面调查 I've asked the CIA Inspector General to undertake a full investigation.
我想很明显 I think it's pretty
现场的人们都很痛苦 很愤怒 evident that the sentiment in this room is that of pain, anger,
而且对政府缺乏信任 and especially that of mistrust.
我们怎么能放心 How can we feel comfortable with an investigation
让政府公务员去调查 that's going to be conducted by someone on the government payroll
中情局自己的错误？ to investigate the CIA in its wrongdoing
这是胡扯 This is some bullshit, buddy.
稍等 Wait just a minute.
中情局检查长 的确提交了一份很长的报告 The CIA's Inspector General did do a rather large report.
事实上 他的报告也确实显示 And, in fact, it did contain a series of new revelations
在他们谋求颠覆桑地诺政权的过程中 about the extent to which the CIA either looked the other way,
中情局对那些毒品走私者 knew about, or collaborated with drug smugglers
或者是不闻不问 或者是知情 或者还曾与他们合作 in their quest to overthrow the Sandinista government.
里根政府不太在乎可卡因流入美国 The Reagan administration cared less about cocaine coming into this country
而更在乎和中美洲一个小国家 than they did about waging an illegal paramilitary war
打一场非法的民兵战争 against a little country in Central America
尽管这个国家对美国 that basically represented no threat
不构成安全威胁 to the security of the United States of America.
当然 毒品意味着威胁 Drugs, of course, do represent a threat.
如果你发动一场对毒品的战争… If you got a war on drugs...
它难道不该是 针对毒品提供者的战争吗？ is it not a war on the people that are supplying the drugs
还是只是针对毒品受害者的战争？ Or is it only a war on the victims of the drug war
这就是虚伪 That was the hypocrisy.
很可悲… 我们从未正视这个问题 And... sadly... we never addressed it.
人死了 社区被摧毁 People died. Communities are ravaged.
从没有采取任何措施 Nothing ever was done.
我们听任有色人种的社区被摧毁 We left the communities of color to be devastated.
我有六次被判入狱 I was sentenced to prison six different times.
你以为会有人出来说… You would have thought someone would have said...
你的问题不是犯罪… that you don't have a criminal problem...
你的问题是酒精和毒品 you have an alcohol or a drug problem.
这个问题有解决办法 And there's help for that.
但从没有人帮助我 But I was never offered any help.
我看到今天的报纸… And I read the papers today...
我看到他们如何对待 鸦片类药物滥用的问题 and I look at the approach to opioid use...
你听说一种 从医疗卫生入手的解决方案 and you hear about a health approach.
而不是刑事的方案 Not a criminal approach.
我戒酒戒毒21年了 I'm 21 years sober now.
难道我当年不值得挽救吗？ Wasn't I worth an investment in treatment
对不起 I'm sorry.
过去… For the past...
20多年… 20-some years...
我一直患有创伤后压力综合症 I've been living with PTSD.
是从我中枪后开始的 It really started once I got shot.
我时不时会躁郁症发作 And every now and again, you know, I might have a bipolar episode.
情绪严重波动 Mood swings here and there.
我还有焦虑症 I have anxiety, you know.
因为我当年所做的选择 这些都是 So, I mean, these are things that I have to deal with
我要面对的问题 because of the choices that I made.
是的 Yep.
1988年我被打伤 I was shot in 1988.
中了五枪 Five times.
我坐了三年牢 I went away for three years.
我因为持有枪支和毒品入狱 I got locked up for gun possession and drug possession.
我真的迷失了自我 I really lost myself.
我很后悔… I have plenty of regrets...
为我在霹雳可卡因时代 所扮演的角色后悔 for the role I played in the crack era.
我失去了很多朋友 I lost a lot of friends.
很多朋友 几乎所有的 A lot of friends. Almost all of them.
我丢了工作 I lost my job.
没了住房 I lost my home.
它让我失去了一切 一切 It made me lose everything. Everything. And...
我后来索性不在乎了 I got to the point where I didn't care no more.
特别是我让我妹妹把孩子接走之后 Especially after I asked my sister to take my girls.
它把我从原来那个人… It changed me from the person that I was...
变成了现在这样 to where I'm at now.
噢 天呐 Oh, my God.
我会想到我的表兄妹 I have to think about my cousins.
我的朋友… My friends...
他们还没到18岁 who were put in the system
就进了监狱… before 18...
就因为这个叫做霹雳可卡因的东西 because of this thing we're calling crack.
有一句谚语 There's a proverb.
我回到家乡 我喊着： “我的朋友在哪儿？” I went back to my old neighborhood and I yelled, "Where are my friends"
空巷回声 And an echo came back and said,
“我的朋友在哪儿？” "Where are my friends"
反毒品的战争花费了美国 近万亿美元
监狱人口从1980年的
三十万激增至今天的两百万
